Barney Frank was in the middle of the sub-prime mess also

Barney Frank, House Banking Committee Chairman, was pushing the sub-prime loans to Fanny & Freddie too;  and then told the media that they were in “great shape”.

Saddam Had WMD

Besides having WMD:  Sadam was a WMD

July 7 , 2008            ” US Finishes (secret) Removal of 550 Metric tons of “yellow Cake” Uranium from Iraq”

This was certainly a WMD.   The UN also found Biological & Chemical WMD’s in Iraq but it was never reported by the media.  Remember the thousands of Kurds in the north that you saw on the videos that  were gased by Saddam.

Obama’s New Diversiy Czar – Is Freedom of Speech about to be destroyed next?

Mark Lloyd has joined the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) as associate general counsel and chief diversity officer.
 
The FCC is the federal agency that regulates interstate and international communications by radio, television, wire, satellite and cable.  In his new position, Lloyd will help the FCC to develop communications policy that will increase media diversity and address the needs of low-income people, women, minorities, people with disabilities.
 
According to press releases, Lloyd is the new Diversity Zar for the Obama Administration.  His job is to make sure all broadcasters offer “diverse views” which in the new dictionary  = “Progressive”  views,  or   further defined = “Marxist” views, and defined further = “Socialist” views.
 
Lloyd s proposing the PRIVATE  BROADCASTERS PAY A LICENSING FEE EQUAL TO 100% OF THEIR OPERATING COSTS.  (THIS IS NOT A MIS PRINT).  The new FCC revenus would then be used to redistribute $$  from private broadcasters to The Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
 
The irony here is that the private broadcasters would be out of business on day one, and thus, there would be no revenue to give to the  Public Broadcasting Corporation.  Thus,  the real goal is to silence, conservative radio and FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

Myth on $ Spent on Iraq War and Health Care Funding

The liberal democrats always say, even to this day, if we had not gone into  Iraq we would have money for health care. 

Fact:  The world, including all the democrats in Congress agreed that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction until 2003, when they were  (sort of)  not found.      (See next post – WMD  were really found but the main stream media never reported it)   We went to Afghanistan & Iraq to insure that the United States is protected from terrorist activities.  In this new world, those who want to destroy the USA have many weapons of mass destruction (WMD)  options , nuclear, biological and nuclear,  that can fit in a suit case.  Unlike past wars, the bad guys do not wear uniforms and do not  have allegiance to any particular country.  The  potential destruction that a handful of terrorists could do to our country is enormous and is thousands of times the damage done to our country in past wars. 

Liberal democrats just do not get this issue.  In World War II, 418,500 were killed (1,700 civilians).  Thus far in Iraq & Afghanistan 5,018 US soldiers have unfortunately lost their lives.   Well placed WMDs  in the US could kill tens of millions. 

The point is:  In WWII the risk of loss of life on the Continental United States was very low, if not, non existent; and we lost 418,500 souls.  Today, the potential  risk of loss of life in the Continental United States is in the tens of millions of people and we have lost 5,081 souls in Iraq and Afghanistan to insure that  the US population is safe.

Winning the current war in Afghanistan & Iraq is more important than winning WWII and the cost to the United States in loss of life is 82 times less than in  WWII.    

Unfortunately, it may take a catastrophic  terrorist  attack or event to wake people up to the fact that  fanatic Muslims want us dead. 

Back to the main point: 

  1. If we have no country that exists, health care is a non issue.
  2. The cost of war is (hopefully) a one time cost
  3. And now for the main point:  The cost of the liberal  democrat government health care plan re-occurs and will increase every year, forever…………………………………….and ever…………………………..

Obama Proposes that Military Pay for Health Insurance

Obama  proposed on May 18, 2009,  that the members of the US Armed Forces pay for their own health insurance.  This was a trial balloon and raised a lot of ire on Capital Hill, so Obama took it off the table.  Needless to say,  the mere fact that anyone would consider something like this says  volumes about their character, values,  judgement, common sense and patriotism.

Bush warned Congress Repeatedly Beginning in 2001

President Bush, John Snow (Treasury Secretary), Allen Greenspan (Federal Reserve Chairman), and others repetedly warned Congress beginning in 2001 that we were facing huge economic risks if we failed to look into, and regulate Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac.   In fact McCain co-authored a bill in May 2006 to do just that.  The bill made it out of committee  with the democrats voting 100% against, but the Republicans never brought it up on the Senate Floor because they did not have the votes to pass it.   Charles Schumer (Democrat NY) and Barney Frank (Democrat Mass) repeatedly defended the practices and the soundness of both institutions.  Need proof.  See the utube video below.

A Rational Health Care Solution

The health care debate boils down to three questions:

1.   Do you think the government can run a national health       care   program efficiently and cost effectively?

2.   Will US seniors stand for a $500 billion reduction in  Medicare Benefits?

3.  Can the US economy withstand a trillion $  Plus  tax increase to pay for “free health insurance for all”  including 13 million people living in the US illegally?

THE   ANSWER   IS   NO.

Every current government run progran or organization is or was or will become bankrupt based upon economic forecasts by the Congressional Budget Office (the office that works for Congress) :  Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid,  The VA, Amtrack, the Post Office,  etc.   as well as many  state, county and city governments.  They are all out of  $ because they spend  more money than they take in (which happens to be out taxes).

If the The (VA) Vetrans Administration, the hospital for our War Heros,  or the “free”  medical service  provided to Native American Indans,  is any example of what the Obama / Democratic health care plan can become, we are in trouble.  Let’s  FIX  all the current programs listed above and then focus on Fixing  the current health care  system,  with no new taxes, one issue at a time.

The health care fix should be well thought out,  not crammed into place.  it needs to be fixed one issue at a time, over time, not in a 1000 + page piece of legislation that no one  in Congress ever reads.  The fix should begin with:

  1. Tort reform so the lawyers will allow doctors to pay a reasonable fee for insurance, which they pass on to patients.  The democrat/Obama  plan does not even address this, most important issue. 
  2. There are 1,300 insurance companies in th US.  By law, they can not sell insurance outside their state.  If the government allowed them to sell insurance across state lines, competition would drive down insurance costs significantly.  For example; in California there are only 6 insurance companies to buy insurance from.
  3. The government insurance company option, is not an option.  They would “out compete”  the private companies with our tax $ and put the private companies out of business
